Travel Expo

Heather and I went to the Travel Expo today and came home with about fifteen kilos of travel brochures, booklets, and maps. We also entered every contest available, because as Heather said, I'm on a streak. Conspicuously absent were booths for the continental US and anywhere in western Europe other than the UK. But if you want to know about safaris in Africa, campervans in New Zealand, golf in Ireland, skiing at Thredbo, or the Great Wall in China, I've got it. If you should meet your untimely demise on your journey, I even have information for a body retrieval company. Here's the tally: 178 brochures, 2 books, 2 magazines, 8 bags, 2 pens, 4 pins, 2 post-it pads, 4 DVD/CD-ROMs, 1 luggage tag, 2 luggage security tags, 1 mousepad, 1 sticker, 1 shirt, and 1 stuffed panda. We'll be poring over this stuff until next year's expo.
